In January 2013, my dear friend Galina was the victim of a hit-and-run accident when she was struck down by a snowmobile on her honeymoon in Quebec. Galina sustained two broken legs with over a dozen fractures and underwent major reconstructive surgery.
Following the accident, Galina’s insurance provider dropped her coverage, leaving Galina and her new husband Tim with a hospital bill of more than $50,000 along with the ongoing medical and living expenses that come with longterm care and rehabilitation.
Tim and Galina continued to face serious challenges in the days that followed. Shortly after the accident, Tim’s father passed away after a 3-year battle with cancer. Only a few weeks later Galina lost the Grandfather who had raised her.
Despite all this, Tim and Galina have not given in to despair. They praise God that their lives were spared and for the excellent medical care Galina received throughout the ordeal. They continue to interact with the insurance company. They are “assured that God their Heavenly Father is with them and will provide, and are waiting on Him to raise them up again to serve children in their full-time, non-profit work with Youth With A Mission (YWAM)”.
Amidst this challenging start to their marriage, both Tim and Galina are thankful, praising the Lord for the life He has given them, and wanting everyone who hears their story to know that God is good and that He is present. They continue to summon faith in the midst of struggle, hope in Jesus despite the pain, and love in the arms of one another.
